LET US KEEP OUR EYES ON THE LIFESTYLES OF OUR CHILDREN
CHRIST ROYAL AMBASSADORS,
LET US STRICTLY ADHERE TO WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS CONCERNING HOW WE PORTRAY OURSELVES AS CHILDREN OF GOD TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.
LET US BE FULLY AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF BUILDING OUR FAITH ON A FUTILE GROUND, AND HOPE FORLORNLY FOR ETERNAL SALVATION IN CHRIST JESUS WITH AN UNREPENTANT WAY OF LIVING OUR LIVES.
GALATIANS, 6:-7-8 “DO NOT BE DECEIVED, GOD IS NOT MOCKED; FOR WHATEVER A MAN SOWS, THAT HE WILL REAP. FOR HE WHO SOWS TO THE FLESH REAP CORRUPTION, BUT HE WHO SOWS TO THE SPIRIT REAP EVERLASTING LIFE.”
AS PARENTS IN CHRIST, WHEN OUR SONS ARE WEARING EARRINGS OR TATTOOS, OR PIERCING THEIR BODIES ON OUR WATCH: THAT’S A SIGN OF FAILURE ON OUR PART.
FAILURE OF NOT DOING ENOUGH TO TEACH THEM RIGHT.
WE MUST TEACH THEM TO FOLLOW WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. (DEUTERONOMY, 22:-5)
SOME MAY ARGUE THAT EARRINGS ARE NOT PART OF CLOTHING BUT JEWELRY, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT EARRINGS ARE BASICALLY FOR WOMEN.
LEVITICUS, 19:-28: GOD PROCLAIMED, “YOU SHALL NOT MAKE ANY CUTTINGS IN YOUR FLESH FOR THE DEAD, NOR TATTOO ANY MARKS ON YOU.”
WE ARE NOT PASSING JUDGEMENT OR CONDEMNING ANYONE.
WE ARE TRYING TO BRING OURSELVES BACK ON TRACK.
GALATIANS, 6:-1: APOSTLE PAUL PROCLAIMED, “BROTHERS IF ANYONE IS CAUGHT IN ANY TRANSGRESSION, YOU WHO ARE SPIRITUAL SHOULD RESTORE HIM IN A SPIRIT OF GENTLENESS. KEEP WATCH ON YOURSELF, LEST YOU TOO BE TEMPTED.”
PLEASE AT YOUR CONVENIENCE, READ JAMES, 5:-19-20.
EARRINGS, BRAIDED HAIRSTYLES ON MEN, AND TATTOOS ON BOTH MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD (CHILDREN OF GOD) ARE TOTALLY OUT OF WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS.
AND THIS HAS BECOME A MALIGNANT CANCER THAT MUST BE EXTERMINATE.
IN CONCLUSION: APOSTLE PAUL PROCLAIMED, “AS FOR YOU, BROTHERS, DO NOT GROW WEARY IN DOING GOOD. IF ANYONE DOES NOT OBEY WHAT WE SAY IN THIS LETTER, TAKE NOTE OF THAT PERSON, HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM, THAT HE MAY BE ASHAMED. DO NOT REGARD HIM AS AN ENEMY, BUT WARN HIM AS A BROTHER.” (2 THESSALONIANS, 3:-13-15)
PLEASE JOIN IN PRAYER FOR OUR PERSECUTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST ALL OVER THE WORLD, MOSTLY THOSE WHO HAVE LOST THEIR BELONGINGS AND LOVED ONES THROUGH VIOLENCE PERPETRATED AGAINST THEM DUE TO THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST, IN ADDITION TO OUR ONGOING PRAYERS FOR LOVE AND UNITY AMONG CHRIST-FOLLOWERS REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION-ALONGSIDE PRAYER FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM, PEACE IN NIGERIA AND PEACE IN THE UNITED STATES. PRAYER FOR VICTORY FOR THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL AND TOTAL VICTORY FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ON ALL FRONTS.
